Counter point: It got me, a small six year old child, to run around a playground picking up garbage to put in the trash can. I'd argue that's a positive influence to instill in children.
The problem with Captain Planet is that it's so simplified & one-dimensional that it makes children vulnerable to more dangerous threats (climate cultists).
Protecting the environment is good. But you also have to realize that 90% or more of "environmentalist" causes are fucking scams (recycling, carbon credits, climate change, ESG, etc) which exist basically to make life worse for normal people and allow billionaires/corporations/politicians to launder money to themselves and their friends.
The latter message is way too complicated for a children's show, though. So I'd prefer if we just cut out the Captain Planet shit and showed normal people positive ways to respect the environment, without turning that normal & correct behavior into a cosmic battle of Good vs. Evil.
